Tenko (天狐) are a type of Japanese divine beast. A kitsune (fox spirit) who has aged 1,000 years becomes a tenko, a nine-tailed fox spirit. It is viewed as a benign guardian entity and a helpful servant for rice gods. If it lives to 3,000 years, the tenko will evolve into the highest rank for its kind, a kuuko .

Versions of these beasts serve as Toukiden's mascot characters. Players who participated in Famitsu's Toukiden questionnaire answered that Tenko was their fifth favorite character, tying with Fugaku for the same spot. It placed seventh in a popularity survey for the sequel. According to his journal entry, one Tenko is one of Nyabraham Linnyahn's childhood friends.

Tenko are mysterious divine beings with the power to transform themselves and manipulate their auras. They are born outside of Nakatsu Kuni with no known packs. Clever and friendly towards humans, they integrate themselves into society as helpers or pets. They enjoy napping leisurely in villages and wander to wherever pleases them. Tenko communicate with "Chuu!" mewings, which can be translated by people.

The protagonist obtains a female Tenko pet in chapter 2. She can be found next to the fireplace (save point) in the protagonist's house. Horou thinks Tenko is too hard for her to pronounce and personally nicknames the pet "Tenkichi" (天吉) for her sake.

Kyokai abducts the protagonist's Tenko during Kiwami to learn information about Utakata and to lure the protagonist into a trap. She feeds it a portion of the "Eclipse Demon"'s influences, transforming the Tenko into a Imihayahi. Since Tenko have divine origins, the fox's soul isn't completely corrupted. It reverts to its normal state after the protagonist and company cleanse Imihayahi.

Talking to the protagonist's Tenko the option to send her away for treasure hunting. Confirm an area for her search and she will disappear to loot it. She will return home when the player has cleared a mission, bringing back parts which can be sold or used for making equipment. The results of her findings are completely random.

The player has to locate and contact it on the map for it to follow the party. When attacked by demons it teleports away for a few seconds. A new mood parameter affects its likelihood of retrieving rare goods. Players may choose to equip it with decorations to increase its findings or improve their pet's mood with food.
